Commentary: The war in Ukraine demonstrates that the threat of nuclear war is still very much with us.
This July 16, 1945, AP file photo, shows the mushroom cloud of the first atomic explosion at Trinity Test Site near Alamagordo, N.M.As people of faith, we believe in working for peace and encouraging conflicting parties to discuss their disagreements to avoid violence and harm to the extent possible.
Thus, our job as peacemakers in the midst of this latest conflict can be understood as helping to build a tunnel — or a bridge — by which nations can withdraw from violent posturing and we can begin to build assurances that global needs are being reasonably addressed. The victims include down-winders who have died and continue to suffer from the deathly effects of nuclear fallout from testing in the 1940s and 50s. The victims are the thousand deaths from uranium mining that continues to poison primarily First Nations peoples in New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. The victims are nuclear weapons workers exposed to radiation and toxic chemicals.
